Bay to Breakers

This past weekend I walked in a 12K road race with 60,000 of my closest friends in San Francisco. I'm not sure how many people really run though - someone on my team summed it up well by saying it is a mixture of Mardi Gras, Halloween, and a beer festival. Most people wear crazy costumes (many wear nothing at all) and drink the entire time. I walked with a team of about 40 people and we had a great time! We were ping pong players. Some of the guys built a table that we rolled with us that held 2 kegs, about 500 ping pong balls, and conveniently had handles for moving keg stands. Here are some pictures:

This is walking over to the race. It was about 7:30AM here and the cops were not at all bothered by the 100's of kegs being wheeled around the city...
The moving keg stands were harder than they looked but it was really a lot of fun! Here are some of the massive crowds
It took us about 6 hours to walk the entire 7.4 miles. The winner of the race finished in 34 minutes I think. Most of our team actually never made it to the finish line because they opened the streets back up after 4 hours. A few of us walked ahead of the group so I actually did make it to the finish line... it was gorgeous!
